Scan-quality tips for image-to-text OCR
Make the text on the source page clear enough to recognize and check.
Start with a clear source
Use a readable scan with visible letters and good contrast. Small, blurred or heavily compressed images can lose the letter shapes recognition needs.
Straighten the page
Keep text upright and avoid excessive skew. Prepare the source image in a suitable image editor if it needs correction.
Review, rather than assume
Compare names, numbers and punctuation with the original. A clean scan helps but does not guarantee an error-free result.
